All Things Wise And Wonderful
All Things Wise and Wonderful is the third collection of James Herriot’s memoirs, now in a paperback edition, bringing together Vets Might Fly and Vet in a Spin. This omnibus follows the beloved country vet as he balances life in the Yorkshire Dales with training as an RAF pilot in wartime London. Perfect for adult readers, animal lovers, and anyone who cherishes warm, funny, true-life tales, All Things Wise and Wonderful offers a comforting, uplifting window into love, courage, and the everyday miracles of care.
Written with Herriot’s signature warmth and wit, the book blends veterinary anecdotes with wartime adventures, showing the contrasts between Darrowby’s quiet lanes and smoky city skies. The two memoirs sit side by side, offering a seamless, intimate journey as James navigates colleagues’ banter, challenging cattle, irritable farmers, and the ongoing ache of missing his wife Helen, who is pregnant with their first child. Cedric the flatulent dog becomes a memorable comic anchor, while the question of whether he’ll go to war adds a quiet tension that makes the moments of home all the more cherished.
All Things Wise and Wonderful invites readers to savor a storytelling voice that is observant, funny, and deeply humane. The narrative flows in accessible, episodic chapters that feel like sitting beside a fire—you’ll meet vivid characters, observe the rhythms of veterinary life, and bask in the author’s affection for animals, family, and the land. Whether you come for the humor, the heart, or the sense of place, this omnibus delivers warmth, nostalgia, and a timeless sense of wonder.

- Memorable characters and animal moments, including Cedric the flatulent dog.
- Engaging, episodic storytelling with humor, tenderness, and emotional depth.
- A heartfelt portrait of love, family, and the calling of a country vet.
- Perfect for fans of James Herriot, animal lovers, and memoir readers.
